Song of the FOOlkiller.

The fool killer sat by hickory tree,
in the luminous light of the moon; his
eyes were lurid with baleful glce. and
he chanted simple tune And the
Foolkiller's tresses were black as night,
and the Foolkiller's voice was strong,
and the Foolkiller sung with weird
delight, this simple yet rapturous song:
"Oh whittier and where is the youth
who goes in the light of the waning day.
to the riverside, where the book beer
flows, and squanders away his payp l
sigh for crack at his swollen head,
and punch at his bloodshot eye-Oh
whittier and where is the youth said,
that I'll find him and let him die? Oh
whittier away is the man who tries to
get off q public speech, who'll range
from murmurs and broken signs, to a
desperate wolfish screech, who gropes
around for missing word. and stam-
mers and hens and haws? Oh soon
will the crack of my club be heard, as
it tlattens upon his jaws. Oh show me
the path to some lonely dell, where I'll
find an idiot gay, who twangs II note
on a chestnut bell, whenever n word
you say; for chestnut bell is a FOOLS
device, which none but fool will use
and I'll knock such lunatic in IA trice,
clear out of their high-heeled shoes.
Oh whittier away is the man who smiles,
and grins in the house of prayer? For
he thinks he's smart, but my snares
and wiles, will coax him into my lair:
and there in the dark and dismal damp,
I'll flatten him on the wall, and I'll
pave the floor of my lonely camp, with
his indestructible gall!' Then the
Foolkiller leaped to his feet quite blithe,
in the light of the waning moon, and
he drew q finger along his scythe,
as he chanted that simple tune, and he
started off on Spanish trot, according
to lifelong rules, and sung as he went,
''I'il make it hot, in this dismal region
of fools!" Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

Movable Targets.

There is a good deal of talk of rifle
shooting at movable targets these days.
Most people imagine that. in order to
hit anything with a rifle, man must
have solid rest and take long aim.
Such is not the fact. The best rifle
shots at game seldom take rest. ex-
cept at long distances. After little
practice it is as easy to hit a slowly
moving object with rifle as a still
one. The secret of all shooting is to
get your gun in the right place and
then let her go in flash. 1t is quite rs
easy to kill running rabbit with a
rifle as with shotgun, but SO few peo-
have tried it that it is not widely
known.-LincoM (Neb. Democrat.

Danger From Electric Lights.

While our knowledge of the pheno-
mena caused in the human body by
electricity is not inconsiderable, we
know comparatively little regarding
death from electric shock. We find
that practical electricians recognize n
marked difference in the susceptibility
of different persons to electricity. and
only employ men to work upon the
electric light who after trial are found
to he not shocked by the ordinary ma
nipulations which are deemed entirely
safe. At the inquest upon recent
fatal case, workman was brought be-
fore the jury who had severed cir
cult of forty-eight lamps, possessing
an electric force of over two thousand
volts. Although made insensible by
the shock and fastened by muscular
spasm to the wire, he was rescued by
his comrades. The length of time that
he was subjected to this tremendous
shock, which was not only the primary
current, but the current of reaction as
we'll, was several minutes. He recov-
cred consciousness very soon, and al
though his hands were severely burned
he made good recovery.-Medicat

To Abolish Poverty,

1t was long ago clearly and unques-
tionably settled that the only way for
the poor to get rid of poverty was to
work. This is what Henry George and
DR.. Glynn are now again establishing.
They are working for money, if talking
for it be called working, and are being
paid so generously for their work that
should they save their hire they must
presently be rich.
Any man in this country who works
and saves is foe to poverty, and q
successful one, too 1t is only the idle
and vicious who complain of poverty,
as no man able and willing to work
can complain of it If it comes to any
such it comes solely because he ceases
to be able and willing. The remedy
for poverty is very simple one.

Gossip With Seasoning OfSense
From the Ends of the Earth,

OF the Princess of Wales, who, if she
lives, will some day be Queen and EN-
press of Britannia's dominions, q
charming story is inst added to the
many humane acts for which she is
noted. A little while ago she visited
the Milbank female prison, and was
shown over the place by the chap
lain. In one of the cells was awoman
who was so violent that it had been
found necessary to handcutf her.
Her Royal Highness spoke kindly and
tenderly to the woman, demonstrated
with her as to her conduct and COM
pletely broke down her suilenness.
The refractory woman burst into
tears, and on the Princess asking her
to promise that if the handouts were
removed she would not be violent, she
faltered out in voice choked with
sobs, 81 will really be good, my lady,
if they take these things off, 1t is
needless to say that "these things"

At the West Point Riding-Han.

At the West Point Riding-Han.
1t is accounted great fun to wit
ness the first rides of the yearlings, SO
we will 60 down there and laugh at
their mishaps.
Mounting the stairs to the gallery,
we look down upon a large space
strewn with tanbark, at one end OF
which is row of some twenty horses
with watering brides. Soon the per-
formers file in and come to halt in
front of the horses. Do they intend to
ride with only watering-bridle, with
out even saddle or blanket? They will
try to, at all events. The instructor
commands:
Stand to horse! Prepare to Mount
Mount!
In obedience to his command the
cadets spring, struggle. leap and kick,
in their efforts to bestride their steeds.
The moment the are mounted, several
horses develop astonishing bucking
propensities, to the anguish of their
riders, and the delight of the gallery.
Now they start around the hall at a
walk. 1t seems rather tame, does MT it?
But soon the command ''trotr' is given,
and the fun begins. The poor fellows
bounce about on the horses backs like
India-rubber boys, and wabble from
side to side like jumping-jacks. The
The trot is accelerated, the horses take
the gallop, and dash around the hall,
tumbling their riders in heaps at the
corners, while those who by chance are
still mounted grasp frantically at their
horses names. Finally, the gait is re-
duced to walk; line is formed; the
dsmounted yearlings, nothing daunted,
catch their horses and remount. and
then the performance is repeated.
If we had visited the gymnasium and
fencing academy in the morning, we
should have seen sections of the fourth
class exercising under rigid system
of instruction and if from there we
had gone to the rid;ng-hall at the. hour
of first-class attendance, we should
have seen exhibited the high degree of
muscular skill and activity to which
the system of training in gymnasium
and riding hall bring cadets. For the
first class cadets ride like Indians
1t is immaterial to them whether they
have q saddle or blanket or ride bare
back. They leap hurdles, 90 through
saber exercise, and are adopts at pistol
practice; they mount, dismount, vault
their horses and pick up articles from
the ground, all while at full speed +;
they ride forward. backward, sideways,

hall during first class hours go to adj
mire not to laugh. -G George l. Putnam.

WASTE GROUND IN THE GARDEN.
1t is somewhat strange that so many
farmers allow their best and richest
land to 60 to waste, or worse, to be oc-
cuped. with weeds. This is in the
gai den, which ought to and generally
does receive more Of the manure made
than any other spot on the farm. The
waste usually comes from the mistaken
practice, at least for farmers, of laying
so much of the garden out in beds that
it cannot be cultivated by horse power.
If the garden is plowed early, as it
needs to be for some vegetables. 1t is
serious work keeping the weeds down
| by hand labor in the parts reserved for
beans, late cabbages, cucumbers and
melons. Much saving of labor will be
effected by arranging the garden in the
first place, so that the early vegetables
will be by themselves. Then later,
other parts of the garden may be Guilt
waited or even plowed again as needed.
This double OF triple blowing of highly
MANFRED land has wonderful effect in
mixing manure with the soil and max
ing 1t more available. But even If the
work has now to be done under disad-
vantages, the vacant spots should be
filled in with some late garden crop.
This is not alone to get the benefit OF
the fertility that would otherwise be
lost, but also to make sure of keeping
down weeds, which have natural at
traction for vacant places on rich soil.

The Heated Season,

When these lines meet the eyes Of
our readers the season will be sufi-
GENTLY advanced to justify them in
disappearing the warm weather.
In fact, it is not bit too early right
now for the gentle reader to buy a
sponge to wear in his hat to ward off
sunstroke. The dog day weather, which
sticketh closer than a brother, is at
hand
Various explanations are given for the
unprecedented heat which people COM
plain of year after year. The tiend who
asked you last winter whenever he met
you if it was cold enough for you, now
bobbeth serenely up and wants to
know, ''Is this hot enough for youp" 1t
is useless to shoot him with bird shot.
Nothing short of a canon will make a
dent in him. To avoid hearing that
dreadful question a man would be JUS
titled in wearing ear-muffs in July.
The best description of extreme warm
weather was gwen by lady at wa
tering place. 1t seemed to her as If
breaths were sold at auction and every
body was able to outbid you.
Still there are compensations. Your
wife, if you have one, never hints about
sealskin sacque. You feel under obi
cations to the man who gives you a
freezing reception, and even the at
other times exasperatng 'cold, dull
stare is cause for gratitude. The
man who wants soft thing at this
season need only ask for the butter.
This is the season when the humor-
Gus friend comes hurriedly into the
sanctum and tells the editor that the
sun was so hot yesterday that cake
of ice which the iceman was taking in
to store caught fire while he was
crossing the sidewalk. He says, too.
that he has observed a decline in paper
collars, especially of the stand up varie-
ty. And yet such people are never
sunstruck. How mysterious arc the
ways of Providence. He Is usually the
identical visitor who. having left the
door open after him all winter, now
carefully closes it IeIas Sytings.
